FATE

This is Very AU tons of OOC-ness…Sorry in Advance…I don't own GH or RENT…The only character I own is Tracy's Daughter Amanda(Mandy)...brief prologue the rest takes place in the GH Verses from 10/31 on...

As she headed toward her bed she grabbed a pen and paper.

Dear Mark,

In the past 48 hours I have learned how precious life is. I know that life has thrown us curves before but a lot of the people almost died in a big train crash and it made me think. We need to take our relationship further, I mean pictures, last names something. Until we meet, Under the Stars. Amanda.

Amanda addressed the envelope and placed it on her desk and headed off to bed.

At the same time back at the site…

"Jason," screamed Sam, "Jason can you hear me."

Then came a bang as the tunnel blew up.

"Jason," yelled Sam running toward the tunnel.

"Don't," said Mark holding her back, "I mean I didn't really know Jason but I'd bet he'd want you to stay safe."

Sam nodded and began to cry.

"Sam," said Jason staggering out of the tunnel.

"Jason," said Sam, "what the hell were you thinking."

"Carly," said Jason, "she was in the tunnel."

"Is she," asked Sam.

"She's safe back at Rose Lawn," said Jason, "anyway Sam I need to give you something."

Jason pulled out a ring.

"Will you marry me Sam," said Jason.

Sam nodded and ran into Jason's arms.

"Only if first you go to the hospital and go through your treatment," said Sam.

Jason nodded.

"Oh and since I'll be at the Hospital with you and Mark here had no place to stay," said Sam.

"Are you asking if he could stay at our place," said Jason, "yes, we can drop him off on the way to the hospital.

A week had gone by since the crash. Lucky was about to be released in a few days and Jason was fighting to survive after he rejected the treatment. Meanwhile Amanda was worried.

"What's the matter sis," said Dillon as he spotted Amanda sifting through the mail.

"It's been a week," said Amanda.

"Oh my god," said Dillon, "wait a week for what."

"Since I wrote to Mark," said Amanda, "maybe I came on too strong asking if he could send me a picture."

"You what," said Dillon.

"After the crash it made me think," said Amanda, "life is short."

Mark sat at Jason's and began to make a list.

…Her name is Amanda...Common name

…She is a doctor…but at what Hospital

…She comes from a big family…but I don't know her last name

Mark looked at what he wrote and decided to head to General Hospital to check on Jason.

Amanda headed into Kelly's with Dillon.

"Are you sure you don't mind your older sister tagging along," said Amanda.

"Not if she is as cool as you Mandy," said Dillon.

The two sat down with Georgie and Amanda looked at the two of them in the eye.

"I know it's just Thanksgiving," said Amanda, "but my resolution is to not pine over guys that I haven't first met face to face."

Mark headed out of Jason's room and ran into Emily.

"Mark," said Emily, "I didn't know you were still in town."

"Well I am," said Mark, "say Emily you don't happen to know any Amanda's do you."

"I have a cousin named Amanda," said Emily, "why do you ask."

"Is she a doctor by any chance," asked Mark interested.

"Yes as a matter of fact," said Emily, "oh my god why didn't I realize it before you're pen pal Mark aren't you."

"Is that what she calls me," asked Mark.

"No," said Emily, "but the family dose anyway what are you doing tomorrow."

"Nothing," said Mark.

"It's Thanksgiving," said Emily, "and Amanda will be there."

"Be where," asked Mark.

Emily wrote down the address to the mansion and handed it to Mark.

"Hope you like Pizza," said Emily.
